I Would rather . . .

Chers Amis,

I would rather be playing than working today. I would rather adding new features like sticky notes and To Do lists to my Google home page than complete tasks from my rapidly growing existing lists. I would rather try out my new desk chair dh got me for Christmas than vacuum 10 pounds of dog fluff from my basement. I would rather get a creamy cup of coffee and lazily browse the happenings at my favorite blogs or surf for fun things to do for next year than straighten this house - again. I would rather try out Typepad or fix the colors here (ick!) than go to Kroger for milk - what ever happened to the milk man anyway? I would rather finish my post on the Loveliness of Motherhood than live it right now. (Dare I say this?) But no one grows in holiness by ignoring life, the not- so-little messes it creates, or the mess creators. So it must be time to pull out a CD, crank up the radio and get to work. My holiness - and house depend on it. Darn. Sometimes you need a self-pep talk, you know.
